What’s the point?!?

Have you ever been shopping? This is not a useful app. You forced me to buy the add-on budget app but they don’t seem to work together. There’s no way to see the total amount of the list as you build it. That’s the point of a budget. Why go to a grocery store if you have no idea if you can afford to buy the groceries until you’re at the check out? EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING

This app is my brain!

Love this app and can’t live without it! I use it for so much more than just shopping lists. I have packing lists, lists of questions for the doctor, mechanic or school, and more! The app has so many more features than I even use. Highly recommend!

No longer works

I have used this app for a number of years, being able to create multiple lists for the different stores I shop. I could make my list on my iPad at home, upload it to Dropbox (required), and download to my phone when I went shopping. All of a sudden I’m getting an error when I try to load/download from Dropbox, getting a “general 400” error message. I’ve tried contacting Decimal Software for a resolution, and have received no response. I’m now looking for another app. Not happy, since I’ll have to enter all my lists again!
